I'm nervous too! I think the yotes are going to have to come out strong like they have been and keep that energy for 3/4. If we keep them off balance with our offensive scheme...and the defense plays as they have been...the leathernecks will lose! USD has been playing with attitude and heart ....they gotta keep bringing that swag! USD will win inHansen field!! Good luck yotes!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Amazing that they say about Strevy going down our team would be done...I didn't know he played all the defensive positions and was throwing and catching the ball??? Wow how ignorant! Well let's see if Taryn Christian went down would the bunnies be done? If Easton stick went down would NDSU be done?? I can tell you the Austin Simmons is a talented QB. The people that make these statements need to do their homework before spewing!

I read these boards several times a day and thoroughly enjoy it I might say. I just can't believe that there are people still making excuses why the Yotes are 3 and 0. They crushed Drake scoring 77 points but Drake is not a scholarship team (scoring 77 points is not easily done by any team), they convincingly beat an FBS team but still doubt (they are a low talented FBS), they crushed UND ranked #10 oh but UND didn't play well.... Really? Look at the scores they are winning by!!! I am not saying that scores like that will be easy to come by in our conference but give praise where praise is due. Last year it was we can't stop the run our defense is sub par and Strevy's passing game needs improvement. Well guess what, our defense is fast and stopping the run (stopped one of the best RB's in the FCS, John Santiago), Strevy can throw and run and our offense has many, many weapons! Nielson and his staff deserve to be acknowledged as top notch! The Yotes are not ranked at #14 by fluke, it is because of there hard work and execution on top of all around improvement in speed and strength. Go Yotes!!!!

For this week against UND it is simple....the DL must step up and slow down UND's run game and force them to to throw the ball so our D can create turnovers. Our offense is going to get the points (UND's MVFC top corner is out for the season with an injury). If we get them unbalanced and they have to rely on throwing the ball....we got them! I am confident in the improvement of our D-line....its going to be a heck of a game! Can't wait to arrive in SD on Saturday!! Go YOTES!!!!

Joe Glen's foundation is there for sure. On these birds I have been saying all along that the speed and size that Nielsons and his staff have recruited since taking over will be evident. I think there are believers now👍🏽

Actually if you look at Nielson's 2 recruiting classes they actually beat out NDSU, SDSU and others in the Missouri Valley Conference to win the recruit. They also beat out FBS schools as well. Below are just a few I could find.
Peter Klug- KU Offer, NDSU offer, UNI Offer, SDSU offer Mark Collins Jr.- SDSU offer, UNI offer, SIU offer, UND offer, Missouri State offer, Illinois State offer Nick Kramer- UNI offer Jacob Mathew - SDSU offer, Illinois State offer, NDSU offer, Ohio offer Kody Case - UND offer Reggie Crawford- Wyoming offer,Western Illinois offer, Missouri state offer, University of Illinois offer, Ball state offer Kolade Amusan - Eastern Michigan offer Tyler Ciurej - Colorado state offer, Liberty offer, New Mexico offer, SDSU offer Nathan Schultz- Illinois State offer, UND offer, SDSU offer, Stephen F. Austin offer, Western Illinois offer Dakarai Allen- South Alabama offer Ben Klett - Western Michigan offer

USD skeptics: The writing is on the wall! Nielsen is a proven winner. Just look at his stats! When he went to WI that team was in the dumps in less than 3 years he built and coached WI to be a legit playoff contender. He is a film expert (cerebral). This staff knows how to recruit and puts great effort and hours into their craft.I am not in the least doubt that this season the Yotes will gain respect and have a winning record! Once this staff recruits the depth they need....watch out! I already made my prediction on our record for 2017 and I'm sticking with it!! You are going to see immediately the difference in speed this team will have as supposed to previous years. Oh and did I mention the "Shopwreckers" the difference in size from previous years. Look at this years recruits....HUGE!!! Just tune in skeptics!!

Ethan Falaniko is a guy who is strong and tough who will run over people and wear down the defense...good for short yardage. Ben Klett was a running back in high school and if you watch his huddle he can be elusive and hard to bring down. I'm putting my money on this 1-2 punch. I agree about Frederick and don't know much about the others accept that Lincoln played in a small division high school and was a man among boys. It will be interesting to watch and see if he can play at this level.

Ethan Roth career ending injury and Jake Richardson left the program for personal reasons and trying to go to school close to home. Don't know about Max Frank.

I think our defense is going to surprise a lot of people! First of all have Wessel being back is huge...Jet played his heart out last season but he was not a middle linebacker. His athleticism was his strong point. The D line is going to have a combination of experience, more size and the ends are faster this year. The secondary will hold its own. I wouldn't sleep on the defense...I think you will see a huge improvement.
